Sufjan Stevens Family Documentary in the Works

Last year, we reported that Sufjan Stevens had scored Beyond This Place, a documentary by his filmmaker friend Kaleo La Belle. The film chronicles La Belle's reunion with his long-estranged father. As it turns out, reunions with long-estranged fathers are something of a theme for La Belle. La Belle's 2006 documentary Crooked River follows Sufjan and his brother Marzuki as they go to Michigan to see their own father for the first time in years. As Consequence of Sound points out, the film still hasn't been released, and there are no plans for release. The filmmakers haven't yet responded to an inquiry from us. __UPDATE: The filmmakers are currently remastering the film and seeking distributors, and they hope to release it by spring.

The 52-minute film does have a Facebook page and a new trailer, which you can watch below. Sufjan, we learn, is a motherfucking beast at Pac-Man.
